Questions & Answers

What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, applying the latest evidence-based research to improve body function, health, and wellness for individuals with any physical condition.

Is Kinesiology a regulated profession?

Yes, in Ontario, the profession is regulated by the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario, which establishes rules and guidelines to ensure the profession is practiced in a way that protects public rights and safety.

Do I have to be over 50 to participate in the sessions?

Not at all! While we specialize in working with individuals aged 50 and above, we can create kinesiology, fitness programs for anyone, regardless of age.

Do I need a referral to join Fit After 50 sessions?

No, we welcome clients with or without a referral

Are Fit After 50 services covered by insurance?

Some extended health care plans may cover kinesiology services, including treatments and assessments within the scope of kinesiology practice.

Additionally, you can use your Health Spending Account (HSA), which allows employees to cover medical expenses, including kinesiology. In Ontario, kinesiology services are also eligible for medical expense claims under the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). For more details, visit the official CRA page. We also accept Veterans Affairs Canada insurance.

I’ve never exercised before. Will that be a problem?

Not at all! We assess your health and fitness level before designing a program that works for you.

I feel too old and weak. Can I still take Fit After 50 sessions?

Absolutely! Regular exercise is crucial for improving your strength, mobility, and overall well-being, especially in your situation.

What should I wear to a kinesiology session?

Wear comfortable, breathable clothing that allows freedom of movement. Athletic shoes are recommended for safety and support. Your kinesiologist will guide you if specific attire is required for certain exercises.

How long will it take to see results?

Results vary depending on individual goals and commitment. Some clients start noticing improvements in flexibility, strength, and endurance after just a few weeks. Consistency is key for long-term results.

Can I do the sessions online or remotely?

Yes, we offer remote kinesiology sessions via ZOOM for clients who prefer virtual options. We ensure you get the same quality care and guidance as you would in person.

How is Kinesiology different from Physiotherapy or Personal Training?

Kinesiology focuses on improving overall movement and function through exercise and movement science, while physiotherapy often addresses injury rehabilitation. Personal training is geared towards fitness goals, but kinesiology uses a more comprehensive, evidence-based approach to address specific physical conditions and overall well-being.

What are the payment options?

We accept credit cards, cheques, e-transfers, and cash. Payment can be made per session or in packages. Some insurance plans also cover kinesiology services.

Can I do the exercises on my own between sessions?

Absolutely! We encourage practicing exercises between sessions to accelerate progress. Your kinesiologist will guide safe exercises you can do at home.
